For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman and the other by a free woman.

Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from Mount Sina, engendering unto bondage, which is Agar.

For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is: and is in bondage with her children.

For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not: break forth and cry thou that travailest not: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband.

But what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman.

For we in spirit, by faith, wait for the hope of justice.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing nor uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by Charity.

For you, brethren, have been called unto liberty. Only make not liberty an occasion to the flesh: but by charity of the spirit serve one another.

For all the law is fulfilled in one word: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

For the flesh lusteth against the spirit: and the spirit against the flesh: For these are contrary one to another: so that you do not the things that you would.

For if any man think himself to be some thing, whereas he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.

For every one shall bear his own burden.

For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit of the spirit shall reap life everlasting.

And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing.

For as many as desire to please in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer the persecution of the cross of Christ.

For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law: but they will have you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision: but a new creature.

From henceforth let no man be troublesome to me: for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus in my body.

Cease not to give thanks for you, making commemoration of you in my prayers,

But God (who is rich in mercy) for his exceeding charity wherewith he loved us
